So misogyny is by God's design?

If you want anything in the Creation story to prove that God is about misogyny, you should look into the Sumerian version of Genesis. Eve was Adam's third wife. The first was chucked because she wanted to be on top and Adam just wouldn't have it. God played favorites and gave Lilith the boot. The second wife was meek and subservient but he saw her get created and just didn't like it. But the third woman, much like the third bowl of porridge, was just right.
Of course I like to think of that Creation myth as a metaphor for how a man loves. The first, Lilith, was older and wiser than him and taught him the ropes. The second was younger and he saw her grow to completion, a metaphor for getting with a girl who's too much younger than him, as associated with the old-wife's-tail of a man's three loves. But the third woman was a stranger to him when he met her and was therefore fine.
Don't think of it as an attack on women, just take it as a metaphor to not be guy's first or second if you want a relationship with him.

Creation of earth ,moon and the sun in the Bible will put the atheist far away ................read this what Bible have to say..........................
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 9 to 13, the earth was created on the third day, and as per verses 14 to 19, the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day. The earth and the moon emanated, as we know, from their original star, the Sun. Hence to place the creation of the sun and the moon after the creation of the earth is contrary to the established idea about the formation of the solar system.
the science tells us moon was created after the earth not before as the Bible says.............

No. Woman was created second as Man's helper, but the Fall kind of changed things a bit. However, although women in the NT are told to obey their husbands, husbands are told to LOVE their wives as Christ loves the Church. A man who beats his wife or mistreats her is not "loving" his wife.
I know Christian families where the wife has as much pull as the husband, but on issues where a decision between the two opinions must be made, the husband's decision must stand. Some people might think this is unfair, but it really isn't given the fact that the woman chose this man as her husband and has accepted his differences from herself. By stripping him of his manhood, she weakens the family. She should respect his decisions - unless he is very immature and is not capable of making wise decisions for the family - in which case she might want to rethink her choice of mate.

Anything can be used as an excuse for mysogeny if you want to be a mysogenist. Actually the Biblical creation story shows that sin came in by man, and with sin, death. It doesn't say "by woman".
You will probably find more mysogenists outside of those who believe the bible than among Bible believers.

Indeed. You see god created Adam and gave him animals, but there was “no suitable helper” among the animals, so then god gave him a woman. This mythology is extremely insulting to women, and at least the Greek one treats females properly.

Since when does a woman, such as yourself, know anything about the Bible. God does not appreciate this question and would rather you prayed for a husband to help save you.

The entire Bible is an excuse for misogyny.

It might not have been created for that reason (I don't know), but it is being used as an excuse.
